[freddy777]

hi all, recently I bought this melanurus fairy wrasse so t moment I placed him in t tank he immediately went missing, I know this is kinda normal but I was just worried about it not eating and also anyone knows how long will it take for it to come out?

hmmm ok, how long can it survive without food? will it take pallets or flakes?I'm also worried cause my damsel was slightly aggressive towards it when it entered t tank.

hmmm u got to train it slowly.. that is why i recommend that u try to give it some mysis or brine to see if it takes.. at least u get it eating first before u train it to eat pellets...

Make sure you cover the tank, they like to jump if scared, especially during the first few days. If belly was fat at time of purchase it should be able to last about a week without food so give it time to get used to its new home

Had one for over 2 years.  Once it get used to,your tank, it will hold its own during feeding time and get to the food. It's a tough fish.
